# gsasl\_server\_step\_base64(3)

API function

## NAME

gsasl\_server\_step\_base64 - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gsasl.h\>**

**int gsasl\_server\_step\_base64(Gsasl\_session \*** *sctx***, const char \*** *b64input***, char \*** *b64output***, size\_t** *b64output\_len***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- Gsasl\_session \* sctx

  libgsasl server handle.

- const char \* b64input

  input base64 encoded byte array.

- char \* b64output

  output base64 encoded byte array.

- size\_t b64output\_len

  size of output base64 encoded byte array.

## DESCRIPTION

This is a simple wrapper around **gsasl\_server\_step()** that base64 decodes the input and base64 encodes the output.

Return value: See **gsasl\_server\_step()**.

## DEPRECATED
